    Brilliant. I have a few pieces set aside to do a saber with a wide lip and a knuckle bow, but I hadn't thought to be so literal about the rapier aesthetic. I dig it, man.

    It's less than a pound, and the two-finger balance test puts the center of gravity right in the open face of the emitter.

    BTW, here's the WIP pics:

    The only thing I have to add other than it being unique and good work

    is... you should go with a 3/4 blade.

    the more diminutive a hilt needs a thinner blade to look more ... scale? for lack of a better word...
    that and its a rapier crossover.. so thinner would work well

    Great mind think alike, my good chap! I had indeed intended on a 3/4" blade originally, but opted for the 1" for brightness. The 3/4" still looks good, and in a sense, is more appropriate...

    But this is wicked bright! I'mo scur me some trick'a-treaters! Ha-ha!

    If you decide later to go 3/4", maybe Tim will start to stock 3/4" bullet tips like LDM.

    I loved that film when I was a kid.
